How Often Should You Cover Grey Hair?

Grey hair coverage is one of the most common reasons people visit a salon.

As hair grows, grey roots begin to appear, making regular maintenance important for maintaining a consistent color.

How Fast Grey Hair Appears

Hair typically grows about 1 to 1.5 centimeters per month.

This means grey regrowth can become noticeable within a few weeks, depending on the contrast between the natural color and the dyed hair.

Most clients cover grey hair every 4–6 weeks.

This schedule helps maintain consistent color while preventing a strong line of regrowth.

Some clients prefer softer grey blending techniques instead of full coverage.

These methods can create a more natural transition between grey hair and colored hair.

The ideal grey coverage schedule depends on how quickly hair grows and how visible the regrowth becomes.

A stylist can recommend the best approach based on the client’s desired result and maintenance routine.
